A 2017 Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Book
Louie and Ralphie Ratso are no softies! Readers are sure to chuckle as
the determined Ratso brothers' plans to act tough go hilariously awry.
Louie and Ralphie Ratso's dad, Big Lou, always says that there are two
kinds of people: those who are tough and those who are soft. Louie and
Ralphie are tough, tough, tough, just like Big Lou, and they're going to
prove it. But every time they try to show just how tough they are, the
Ratso brothers end up accidentally doing good deeds instead. What'll Big
Lou do when he finds out they've been acting like softies all over the
Big City? Perfect for emerging and reluctant readers, this clever and
surprisingly warmhearted chapter book shows that being tough all the
time can be really tough.
